Huben K1 barrel cleaning

[pelletpumper]

Since the K1 Barrel can only be cleaned from the muzzle, I've been looking for cleaning tips and connectors that are made of nylon plastic, or fiberglass. Something other than metal to avoid scratching. So far, I've only been able to find tips and connectors that are made of brass. Even though they are softer metal so, I don't trust them not to damage the crown. Anybody have sources?

Sorry for the double post. Don't see a way to delete one of them.

I cleaned my from the breech. It's not hard at all..

MACTEN, I didn't think the Huben K1 barrel could be accessed from the breech without some disassembly due to the fixed magazine. Care to share how you do this?

Felt cleaning pellets?

Bore Tec ,makes a device to center a cleaning rod in the muzzle, or in your case the shroud, when coupled with a high qualith one piece rod, with not harm your muzzle if used carefully.

Knife, Thanks for the tip on the Bore Tec cleaning rod device. 

Yeah, MACTEN must be referring to cleaning pellets. I wish we could use a Crown Saver or String Trimmer feed. But, there is no way I can see to feed one through and then pull out at the breech end due to the fixed mag.

I just received my super-brush bore tips from swab-its. They have an 8-32 male thread end. Now I'm waiting on a 36 inch piece of 3/16 dia. acetal plastic rod from McMaster. They are machinable so I'll put it in the lathe and there will be just enough meat to put a 8-32 thread in it. Then screw the tip in, give it a shot of Power air gun oil and see what happens. I'll have a clean barrel or I'll be shooting swab-its. We'll see.

I do have to take the barrel off of course but it's not hard to do. Just look for videos by Gregor Kamenšek .

I have just ordered a k1 in the black Friday sale, has anyone used those cleaning pellets that you can shoot to clean the barrel?

I was just discussing the same thing yesterday about my GK-1 that arrives tomorrow..it being the same as the K-1 basically (no breach for a patchworm).I really dont want to have to remove the barrel before ever firing a pellet

When I get mine next week I will give it a go just using the cleaning pellets on low power and I will let you know how I get on

 

[Chard]

Is there anyone who has successfully used the cleaning pellets on huben with any success? There is/ was some concern about them shredding off in the baffles.

 

[Ollie's guns]

I was going to take the shroud off to do it just for that reason, and from the videos it is only 1 bolt to do it xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just sharing a hack devised to clean the K1 barrel quickly and easily. My friend and owner of a 25 confessed that he had never cleaned his barrel (3 years and many thousand shots!) because he didn’t want to get into any disassembly. We set about crafting a device to clean it that doesn’t...
